This study investigates the relationships between the external influence of leader motivating language (ML), each of the major dimensions of self-leadership (SL)—behavioral strategies, constructive thoughts strategies, and natural rewards strategies—and their respective links with the outcomes of employee job satisfaction, performance, and intent-to-stay, using a partial least squares structural equation model. In addition, we look at the direct relationships between ML and SL with the same outcomes in separate analyses. Based on a large, diverse sample, results suggest that ML in conjunction with SL has strong, positive relationships with employee job satisfaction, performance, and intent-to-stay. Furthermore, a partially mediated model of ML affecting SL shows positive links with all three aspects of SL and the outcome variables of performance, job satisfaction, and intent-to-stay. For the SL dimensions, behavioral strategies were positively and significantly linked with job satisfaction; natural rewards strategies were positively and significantly related to job satisfaction, intent-to-stay, and job performance; and constructive thoughts strategies were significantly and positively associated with job satisfaction and intent-to-stay. These findings validate previous research and uncover new knowledge about ML and SL in organizational context.

A considerable body of research substantiating the importance of workforce diversity to public organizations has accrued over the past two decades. However, research on workforce diversity has also been narrow in scope and frequently fails to link diversity to important individual and organizational outcomes. Using data (n = 1,109,134 employees from 500 sub-agencies) collected in three waves (2010, 2011, and 2012) of the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), this study examines whether (1) increased diversity influences organizational goal clarity, (2) diversity and goal clarity, in turn, influence employee job satisfaction, and (3) diversity management policies influence job satisfaction by clarifying organizational goals for workers. FEVS is administered yearly by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and is designed to assess whether and to what extent federal employees believe the characteristics of successful organizations are present in their agency. Results from a multi-level structural equation model (MSEM) suggest diversity is associated with greater goal clarity and that diversity management policies, by clarifying organizational goals, positively affect job satisfaction. Findings also indicate that the type of diversity matters.

This study presents findings on the differential effects that leader communicationhas on worker performance and job satisfaction for part-time and full-timeworkers. For both part- and full-time employees, structural equation model resultsindicate that leader communication, as measured through motivating language(ML) use, has the same significant and positive effect on job satisfaction. However,in the case of performance, leader ML use only has a significant relationshipwith the output of full-time workers. These results indicate a boundary conditionto the effectiveness of leader communication, and suggest practical implicationsfor management interventions with today's workforce.

<p><em>ABSTRACT</em></p><p><em>It is generally believed that there is a positive relationship among the following three variables, which are cohesiveness, job satisfaction, and job performance. Good job performance of a group of workers needs good coorperation among the group members. Good cooperation can be viewed as the outcome of group cohesiveness. In addition, good job performance needs good job satisfaction. Furthermore, it is also commonly believed that group cohesiveness is positively related with job satisfaction. The objective of this study is to empirically test the phenomenon by conducting a survey on 102 respondents who are administrative staff in Bogor Agricultural University. A quantitative model namely Structural Equation Model (SEM) was utilized. It is concluded that cohesiveness positively effects job satisfaction as well as well as job performance. However, it is found that there is no statistically significant effect of job satisfaction on job performance.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Umumnya dipercayai bahwa ada hubungan positif antara tiga variabel berikut, yakni kohesivitas kelompok, kepuasan kerja, dan kinerja. Kinerja kelompok membutuhkan kerja sama di antara para anggota kelompok. Kerja sama yang baik dapat dipandang sebagai buah dari kohesivitas. Tambahan pula, kinerja yang baik membutuhkan kepuasan kerja yang baik pula. Lebih lanjut, lazimnya dipercayai bahwa kohesivitas berhubungan dengan kepuasan kerja. Studi ini secara empiris menguji fenomena tersebut dengan menggunakan survei terhadap 102 responden yang adalah tenaga kependidikan di Institut Pertanian Bogor. Model kuantitatif menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM). Ditunjukkan bahwa kohesivitas berpengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan kerja maupun terhadap kinerja. Namun ditemukan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan dari kepuasan kerja pada kinerja.</p>

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya pengaruh kompensasi terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan dan pengaruh resiliensi terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan. Kepuasan kerja karyawan merupakan salah satu variabel yang paling banyak diteliti. Kepuasan kerja didefinisikan sebagai suatu keadaan emosional dialami karyawan, yang bersifat menyenangkan atau bersifat positif. Kepuasan kerja pada umumnya yang dihasilkan dari penilaian karyawan terhadap pengalaman kerja atau pekerjaannya. Dengan demikian, kepuasan kerja menunjukkan sikap positif umum karyawan terhadap pekerjaannya. Apabila karyawan merasa adanya kepuasan kerja, maka karyawan tersebut dapat lebih termotivasi untuk menghasilkan kinerja yang lebih baik. Kepuasan kerja dipengaruhi oleh banyak variabel. Dalam penelitian ini, variabel yang akan diteliti pengaruhnya terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan adalah kompensasi dan resiliensi. Kompensasi merupakan total penghargaan atau hadiah yang diberikan perusahaan sebagai pembayaran atas hasil pekerjaan karyawan, sedangkan resiliensi merupakan suatu konsep yang menunjukkan kemampuan seseorang untuk mengatasi dan beradaptasi terhadap masa-masa sulit yang dihadapinya. Metode analisis data menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM) dengan alat analisis SmartPLS 3.0. Sampel diambil dengan metode non-probability sampling dan teknik purposive sampling. Sampel dalam penelitian sebanyak tigapuluh orang karyawan dengan kriteria merupakan karyawan yang masih aktif bekerja dan memiliki masa kerja minimal satu tahun. Hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan bahwa adanya pengaruh positif kompensasi terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan dan adanya pengaruh positif resiliensi terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah kompensasi berpengaruh terhadap kepuasan kerja dan resiliensi juga berpengaruh terhadap kepuasan kerja. Keterbatasan penelitisan ini adalah jumlah sampel yang sedikit sehingga pada penelitian mendatang, jumlah sampel penelitian dapat lebih ditingkatkan.  The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an effect of compensation on employee job satisfaction and the effect of resilience on employee job satisfaction. Employee job satisfaction is one of the most widely studied variables. Job satisfaction is defined as an emotional state experienced by employees, which is fun or positive. Job satisfaction in general results from employee evaluations of work experience or work. Thus, job satisfaction shows the general positive attitude of employees towards their work. If employees feel job satisfaction, then the employee can be more motivated to produce better performance. Job satisfaction is influenced by many variables. In this study, the variables that will be examined for their effects on employee job satisfaction are compensation and resilience. Compensation is the total award or prize given by the company as payment for the work of employees, while resilience is a concept that shows a person's ability to overcome and adapt to the difficult times they face. The data analysis method uses Structural Equation Model (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 analysis tools. Samples were taken by the non-probability sampling method and purposive sampling technique. The samples in this study were thirty employees with the criteria are employees who are still actively working and have a minimum working period of one year. The results of hypothesis testing indicate that there is a positive effect of compensation on employee job satisfaction and a positive effect of resilience on employee job satisfaction. The conclusion of this study is that compensation has an effect on job satisfaction and resilience also has an effect on job satisfaction. The limitation of this research is the small number of samples so that in future studies, the number of research samples can be further increased.

This article provides an empirical study on effects of diversity management and inclusion on organisational outcomes. The importance of diversity management and inclusion on organisation is of immense benefit especially in a Multinational Corporations, where diversity and inclusion are parts of their core values. However, in our context, which had been identified as the most diverse country in Africa, there is need to establish how the management and inclusion of these diverse workforce would benefit organisational activities, coupled with the fact that, there is dearth of research on these constructs in extant literature. This study investigated the effects of diversity management and inclusion on organisational outcomes (job satisfaction and job performance) among Shell Corporation employees. Pen and paper questionnaire of 384 copies were administered to the Lagos Branch employees of Shell Corporation. Cross-sectional research design was adopted. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), convergent and divergent validity, correlational analysis, and structural equation model were used for the analysis. The findings showed positive effect of diversity management and inclusion on employees’ job satisfaction and employees’ job performance. It implies that diversity management and inclusion have the potentials of assisting organisation in creating a climate in which employee will like to work harder with readiness to continue to work with the organisation.
